EPCR, THE GOVERNING body over the European Rugby Champions Cup , have this afternoon confirmed they are attempting to set up a match between their champions and the winners of Super Rugby.
The non-compatible playing seasons make northern hemisphere v southern hemisphere matches difficult events to schedule. However, EPCR are in discussions with (southern hemisphere governing body) SANZAR and ‘actively formulating a strategy on how best to organise and market a match in the future’ between the winners the respective tournaments.
Planning, the EPCR says, remains at an early stage. However they also outline the need for ‘appropriate timing’ so that teams can play the game at full strength.
